Farewell, 2x Bronze skull tokens. It’s been real.
My first battle in the Moon League concluded. I love these rules.
I’m enjoying the new Moon League, a good improvement. Can we have an updated list of Moon Leaguers please? I have occasionally been suffering with no one to stab
EDIT: I see the FAQ has been updated, teaches me for not looking there first

These are pretty neat.
Next I think it would be cool to see advanced moves and Gambits, perhaps something that uses or consumes the Exotica for additional effects.
Does it seem strange to anyone else that the gambit that blocks opponents from attacking with their elusive stat also raises your own elusive? Seems counterintuitive, or at least unnecessary – if elusive is your strong stat, you could just boost it with a normal move, no gambit – because you’d hope someone would blunder and attack you with elusive themselves. But if it’s not, and you want to block your opponent using that gambit, what good does the stat boost do you?
I suppose you could use it as a very complicated bluff after all, but still. I’d be interested to see the reasoning behind such a thing.
When your opponent makes a gambit, you can’t see which gambit they’ve made. So there’s the upside of increasing your elusive while not letting them know you’ve increased it.
That’s what I meant by the complicated bluff. But it seems like it’d do more harm than good – if they have the drop on you, you’ve blocked them from attacking your strong stat. And if you have the drop on them, then it doesn’t matter in the first place whether they know you’re going to attack with elusive or not.
It does matter if they know, because if they knew which stat you wanted to attack with, they could block you with their own gambit.
I just got another message saying the first Tournament has started - again - with two silver prizes attached. Not that I’m complaining about free silver prizes, but it’s weird
also apparently there’s a new option on stabcards either now or soon??? i do not know if this means moon league stabcards or iron stabcards, but it’s something to keep an eye out for.

I guess that’s a fair point then, Dolan. It’s a very specific strategy though, mm.

[color=#009900]
[/color][color=#009900]This is confusing, we know - so next patch we’ll be auto-adding users to your list when they’ve invited you to something (which will make Iron League revenge easier too). You’ll notice ‘friends’ starts being referred to as ‘contacts’, too, to reflect what it does more accurately.[/color][/quote]
I should have realised this… but didn’t. (Sorry Guy Scrum!)
Personally I’d prefer it if the friends/contacts list was separate from the Knife & Candle leagues.
If you would automatically be shown all the eligible opponents in your league it would save a lot of work (copy/pasting names from the FAQ and trying to remember who you already added at an earlier time, etc.).
This way the friends/contacts list would also stay a more managable size for other actions.
BTW, I’m really enjoying the Moon League. The other leagues weren’t really my kind of game (the best strategy made those using it really annoying and I didn’t want to lower myself to that) but the Moon League is really great.
Here’s looking forward to more!
I am engaged in a hunt in the Moon League and someone just stole all of my silver prize tokens (literally, the message says “every last one of your prize tokens”).
If I drop my hunt now and attempt to retaliate, I will have wasted, let’s see: one stabcard (or sense of urgency) to set my form once I joined the Moon League, and one to set my form once I leave. And of course I’ve tied up someone else without any potential profit to them.
(Shadowhand, again, of course. That was four tokens–have fun if you can find them, everyone.)
I do not like that tokens are vulnerable when I am on a hunt. And those of you with more than a lowly four should REALLY not like it.
Edit: I’m told that the message now makes clear that this is a SMEN thing.

So, the Betrayal of St Arthur… Has anyone been betrayed yet?
makes perfect sense that all your tokens can be lost while you’re on a Hunt: consider your possession of certain candles wisely
Well it’s nice it makes sense to someone. Because it is certainly, and I should think obviously, news to me. And I have literally no idea where I could have figured this out previously (the only SMEN menace card I have right now is Restitution, which says nothing).
[color=#009900]The usual warning applies here. There is a card which you haven’t, presumably, seen, but unexpected, unpleasant and unfair things will continue to happen to you if you pursue Mr Eaten’s Name. You can avoid them all by abandoning the quest, which you should definitely do before the experience makes you any unhappier.[/color]
honestly st arthur’s candle could suddenly explode and wipe out all my lodgings and i wouldn’t consider it a surprise at all
it’s nothing to do with menace cards but having any silver prize tokens and st arthur’s candle opens you up to being betrayed and losing all your prize tokens at once now
oh no alexis sniped me

Just one more reason I’m happy to be Free of the Name
